MANSFIELD -- A recent Most Wanted from Richland County has been captured in Dayton, and local authorities are breathing a sigh of relief.

Brian Wallace Moore, 31, is being held on a $100,000 bond in the Montgomery County Jail on recent charges of receiving stolen property, a third-degree felony, and assault on a peace officer.

"I'm glad this one-man crime wave is in custody," said Richland County Sheriff's Office Major Dale Fortney. "We look forward to extraditing him back to Richland County."

Fortney said he hasn't been informed yet of the date of Moore's extradition.

Moore was wanted out of Richland County for failing to register as a sex offender. According to his original charge in 2006, Moore was convicted of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor.

He is listed on the Richland County Sex Offender Registry as a "Habitual Sex Offender Without Notification." Moore also was charged with a probation violation and failure to provide change of address.

Authorities say his past brushes with the law include arrests for contributing to the unruliness of a child, corruption of a minor, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, theft and parole violations.

Moore's last address was on DeWeese Place. He is from the Shiloh area, but has ties to Dayton, where he was arrested Tuesday at 6:49 p.m. on 705 Xenia Ave. by members of the Dayton Police Department.

A sergeant from the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office said their office heard that Moore was in the area and alerted the Dayton Police Department, but didn't know any further details because that office did not assist in the arrest.
